Prohibited acts include: making threats or use of violence or criminal acts, use of obscene language, publishing deadbeat lists (communicated with third parties regarding your obligations), advertising debt for sale to coerce, continuously calling with intent to annoy, harrass or abuse, and making false or misleading misrepresentations, among others. Please consult with an attorney if you believe your rights under the FDCPA have been violated.
